Johan Santana acknowledged having sex with the woman who accused him of sexual assault last October, Florida police records show. The woman, an acquaintance of Santana's identified as Jane Doe, accused Santana of assaulting her on a golf course in Fort Myers, Fla., in 2009.

The Lee County Sheriff's Department did not file charges, citing a lack of evidence.

On Wednesday, TMZ.com first reported the woman's complaint to the police, showing police reports from the Lee County Sheriff's Department on Oct. 28, 2009. Thesmokinggun.com published an additional report Thursday that gave Santana's account to the police.

In that report, Santana said he had sex with the woman but that she never said no or attempted to reject him, as she charged in her initial complaint. Both Santana and the woman said that after the encounter, she accompanied him to a nearby tennis court and watched him play tennis with his father.

Santana told the police in an interview conducted in Spanish that the woman ''never told me to stop or 'No' during our sexual encounter.''

This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.
